The Best Root Applications for YOUR Rooted Android - General Questions and Answers

JULY 3, 2017 (Updated)
Best Root Applications for YOUR Rooted Android
This is going to be a LIST soon. So you can browse to a ton of root applications and find what you really need.
Please help me with this by commenting an unmentioned root application.
Please note that the following applications are NOT IN ORDER​
1. Greenify - Sometimes your android battery really drains without knowing the reason. If you have experienced leaving your android on a 77% battery in the evening and in the next morning you'll find it on 42% or something like that. Well say no more, because this app can save your battery life by hibernating those battery draining applications with one simple click, or you can just put the app into Auto-Hibernation mode. All you have to do is to register the application that is draining your battery life and you'll see Greenify do its magic.
2. Titanium Backup - The free version has all of your basic needs when it comes to backing up, with the PRO version of this you can unlock a lot of extra feature. Other than that this application really does the trick when you want to back up your applications, might be the best backup app in the Play Store.
3. Xposed - Hate flashing ROMs? Want extra features on your android? Got KitKat only but want to have Android M and N features? Then this is for you mate! I mean you don't want to feel outdated right? You can browse inside it and find modules the suites your wants, from customizing your androids looks, getting extra tweaks and more. Has tons of them and i ain't joking.
4. Flashify - FLASH EM ALL! If you always tend to flash zip files, boot images or if you even want to flash TWRP or CWM recovery then look no further The FLASHify is here. uhh.. get it? no? k then
5. Boot Animations - Gotten tired of the boot animation of yours? Yes i know that you have been seeing that for years, if you want to make that animation of yours cool then download this app, it has tons of animations inside, feel free to browse em, although you ought to be careful when your about to change your animation as you might get stuck in a bootloop.
6. GL Tools - Anyone have a low end device? Need to play a High Spec Game? Then try this app. The magic it does is to simply render the game as low as possible in order to make it run faster. You can also fake your device into Tegra or something like those in order to play the games smoothly. Some people saw the changes on their game that it became faster, while some did not experienced any changes. I myself am using this and i can really tell that it does have difference than running the game without GL Tools.
7. Roehsoft RAM Expander - Gonna ask again anyone still have a low end device? Fret not my friend, this app is for you. If you happen to have a Class 4 SD Card or above then try this app. It creates a Virtual Memory that will run when the internal RAM needs to "take the load off". You'll see the difference i tell you than without this app but only if that SD card of yours is Class 4 or above or otherwise, no effect at all.
8. Busy Box - EVERY ROOTED APPLICATION NEEDS THIS AND THATS THAT.
9. Root Browser - It ain't the browser you think. Its a File browser. This app can go deep into the system whether your a developer yourself and you want to get some extra tweaks or that root of yours got into some problem. You can use this app to also edit them or put something new into the android system however you also need to have an experience at this or simply that you must know what you're doing.
10. Set CPU - Its back! Yes the developer came back (Same goes for me. Sorry for the hiatus of the thread ) Anyways SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU frequency to the way you like. It can improve your performance, battery or you can improve both of them. I personally used this app way back and yes it really does save battery and it increases the android performance by using some set profiles.
11. Kernel Adiutor - Has some features like Set CPU but this app is packed with more. Most of the feature has of course, have something to do with the android kernel. It also has some extra features like the init. d editor (good for tweaking )
12. Amplify - MORE BATTERY LIFE! Yes you heard that right, this app blocks unnecessary wakelocks which is the culprit in draining that battery of yours. Well worry no more, just install the app and it will do the rest. Buying the other version has some extra features in which you can edit certain numbers.
13. Viper4Android - What this app does is to basically improve the sound output of the android device to make it more seemingly pleasant to your liking. Has tons of options. Check it out
14. System App Remover - App name says it all
15. Super SU - Do i really have to put the description?
Smashing that "Thanks" Button is fine ​

Some additional hints:
dev.wes07 said:
Rom manager --> Try Flashify instead as is provides more usefull recovery features
ROEHSOFT RAM-EXPANDER (SWAP) - really?! Costs much, may boost performance slightly. Every custom kernel will do better for free.
Root Browser (File Manager) - Use Total Commander instead
GLTools [root] (gfx optimizer) - Does not support most of the android devices
System App Remover - Titanium Backup has this feature already included
P.S. Post other rooted apps if I missed an important one.

[APP 2.1+] System Tuner

Dear users,
Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.
To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.
With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.
Thank you all!
We're working on System Tuner version 3.0. Beta testing should be available soon, stay tuned.
Please check this for a 3-in-1 integrated app: ANDROID TUNER.
ANDROID TUNER IS NOT A REPLACEMENT APP BUT AN INTEGRATION OF ALL 3C APPS AND MANY OTHER
There are 2 options for existing users wishing to use the integrated version:
1) you can use Android Tuner Free which unlocks all already paid features from Battery Monitor Widget Pro and System Tuner Pro (except widgets)
2) or you can use a discount on Android Tuner paid version with this migration offer, note however we can no longer refund old apps as before because refund policy on Play Store have changed since December 20th
We're currently using Android Tuner's existing source code to rebuild BMW and ST from scratch, this is a lot of work and requires a lot of manual handling to avoid these:
- A 10MB APK instead of today's 2MB APK.
- A near-bug-free experience, beta testing will run for a long time with selected users, depending on users' feedback and app usage.
- Accurate data migration for user switching from 2.x to 3.0 without data loss.
- Removing features from BMW without breaking the app (battery data)
- Keeping a low memory footprints splitting UI and services components
- Keeping app performance as high as possible (version checks at run time)
- Removing features using new permissions without breaking the app (sms, contacts, etc). More than 20 permission in AT!
Note that the above is very complex and represents a lot of work, so it will take time before 3.0 is actually published.
More coming soon, stay tuned.

Could be because of the customized rom, I'm a newbie with x10, just installed the blue spark rom on my 2nd day use, because of the flop score... I tried all day yesterday downloading the widget, search the web for fixes, but no, the download just won't start (or finish)! Really want to try this app to see cpu mhz & usage on "front panel"!
I even used the SDK and emulate avd to download the file...
May be u would consider posting it here? Oh, I even installed Slide 4.0, but they don't have your app, may be u can post there as an alternative? Can download there no problem, just tried aiSystem.

Hello totalz,
Sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy lately.
I'd rather email it to you, so I don't have old versions to update here and there in the future. PM me for my email or directly from Google Market.
Great app.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks and has alot of info in a tiny 1x1 space.
I put free memory on top, cpu speed at the bottom, cpu load and free internal memory on the sides.

How does this affect batterylife?
...
thanx dude
Any thoughts about combining your battery monitor widget functions and tying the battery consumption to the process? Maybe I'm over(under)thinking it, but being able to see graphically process history vs battery consumption per process would be very helpful to narrowing down inefficient apps.
Cheers
Nice app! Thanks!
nice
Works fine !
Thanks !

Version 1.5
1) remove advertising
2) Add auto memory optimization options
3) fix long-press settings bug
4) Changing some text caption
APK Download:http://code.google.com/p/andbox/downloads/detail?name=AndMemory_1.5_signed_beta.apk&can=2&q=#makechanges
Hello everybody,please give me some use feeling that i can improve my software.
It is my understanding that this is not useful for Android 2.2 and above, since it includes its own memory management.
Android will usually keep its memory full on purpose so recently used apps are responsive.
When you load a new app, others get swapped out of memory if there is not enough room.
So is this app useful for 2.2 and above?
Useful to be able to help you more quickly free memory when you reset oom value ,the system will speed up Significantly
hi nice working so far! looking good and quick boost is really a nice touch!
my mob is running fine without any problems so far.
like whitelist, a blacklist would be helpful! and the memory is not going beyond 120! when using other memory tools such auto killer memory or minfreemanager I can tweak upto 250! I think you can give option like save as custom preset and then use it.

This isn't like a typical task killer. This looks the same as the very popular AutoKiller. It tweaks Android's built-in memory management. You can read technical details here http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller/details

If you can get root, and setting successfully, the system will help you free memory. the system will kill some empty applications when you run many applications.
auto launcher is working for me!
but everytime I open I have to click request root permission! is there a way to remember my selection! once I press request root permission it should remember.

CPU Health: Warning

Hi, I have been using the CPU Monitor app to track my phone's health. Lately, I have been getting Good status. But recently, I get the Warning status.
According to the CPU Monitor, it is due to the CPU Usage and the space left on the SD card. My questions are is it possible to turn off background apps permantally? I have been using Greenify from Exposed, but every time I reboot. The apps I have hibernated.. Are no longer hibernated.
Also regarding the Clean Master app, when I free RAM. The apps I have selected not to free, must be reselected after reboot.
I just want to have certain apps to not run in the background. Also, is there a way to have CPU Monitor delete the history of my previous scans? Thank you in advance!

Don't use ram free.
use xposed framework and the boot manager to stop apps at from starting at boot.
To turn off apps permanently to have to freeze them or uninstall
Thank you, I will use boot manager, should I remove clean master app?

Personally I don't use it. I don't understand why it needs to run in the background. To kill app? I don't think so, Android does not need it. I use SD Maid.
Sigh. Using task managers on Android with devices that have more than 512 mb RAM is useless, and slows your phone down...

personally I've never use battery doctor, does it have profiles to enable, disable things like 3g, location or something could be good.
turn data to 2G while screen is off saves a lot of battery.

My response had a bit of a know-it-all tone over it, sorry . But yeah, task managers aren't a very good thing to use.
Battery saving apps don't do any harm and if they have special power saving profiles(screen brightness low, signals off, GPS etc.), sure, use them if you want!
Hope that helps

Since I am running franco.kernel with VomerTweaks now. The battery life is pretty good so far. I am running tasker with VomerTweaks.
Tasker is a bit complex because I get confused and overwhelmed easy. I am still learning and have a positive outlook on this Android device. However, lately it has been running slow. (when I run a game in landscape mode, it shifts the home screen to landscape then launches the game. Before, it would just launch. Also, some apps are glitchy now, and it wasn't like that before. (When I open an app, it shows a transparency of the app with the home screen as the background) and would have to re-launch to fix.
This all happened when I applied the VomerTweaks. I haven't done too much research on the VomerTweaks, but I hear everyone is saying it works great. I am having a different experience.
Also, the camera has been hot due to movie watching... but hasn't been doing this when I had battery doctor installed. I will install CPU monitor when I get back home to see what's up. I apologize if what I type is very choppy and unorganized.
My question is if I install VomerTweaks and Battery Doctor, will it conflict and change the system settings and confuse the Android device?
Thank you again.
Install the FKU app from Franco or per app settings then you can change the frequencies for individual apps. All my games I've put at stock settings with Vomer some games experience lag due to the low frequency of CPU and GPU with per app I've got them all on stock and they run just fine. I've even lowered the CPU on non CPU taxing apps like tapatalk for example.

My recommendation to you is to keep things simple. I have many apps, but I still always have around 1.7GBs of free RAM on average. I have my OPO overclocked to 2.880GHz and the battery still lasts me the entire day with a lot to spare. With time you'll learn to tweak the kernel and weed out and replace inefficient apps to keep the OPO at an optimal state. I now longer use memory or battery "management" apps, they just do more harm, and I find it absurd that a device such as this should get bogged down to such degree.
I just came from reading the "[Q] Wrong kernel : black screen, no fastboot, no adb, no factory reset" thread.
It was heart wrenching to read but as I got closer the page 14, there was light at the tunnel. This community is too awesome.
Anyways, I do not want to ever experience a hard bricked device, that would just destroy me. However, I do love tweaking my phone so that it runs with the least hiccups as possible.
So seeing the lags after installing the VomerTweak bothers me a little. I will keep an open mind and when the develop updates it, I will definately try it again. My question is there a way to uninstall VomerTweaks after flashing the zip file. Or is there a way to make it better with franco.kernel? If so, how? Thank you again.
P.S: I don't know why, but my gut tells me I should not uninstall the VomerTweak, I do not know why... Just a FYI. lol

How do you overclock your OPO to 2.880GHz? I watch 720p / 1080p Youtube videos for 3 hours using MX Player app and I play 20 minutes of Anomaly my battery life is 15% from a full charge. Also, OPO gets really hot after I play 20 minutes of Anomaly. I'm not sure if this is normal. Also, whenever I set my MX player app to play the Youtube videos in the background, I always have to wait 20~30 secs before it skips the next video. This would happen even before I flashed the VomerTweaks.
Thank you I am aware that the memory and battery apps do more harm. I uninstalled it too. Instead I use Greenify, CM Security, SD Maid, Boot Manager, BusyBox Free, Tasker with VomerTweaks, and Xposed Installer using Nova Launcher. I will post pictures on what's on my home screen.
This is a widget called Animated Photo Frame Widget+, also I blocked out the contacts I have.
The widget is called PowerAmp
This widget is called Weather & Clock Widget
This widget is called DigiCal.
This widget is Animated Photo Frame Widget+ again, but this one changes pictures every 20 secs. Again, I blacked out the contacts I have.
The background I am using is called Wave. I use Bluelight Filter so I don't get blind during the night.
Just a FYI, I bought and supported all the developers who created these apps and widgets. Also, there were no lags before I removed the Clean Master and Battery Doctor, it was only after I installed VomerTweaks.

We'll I'm just running a fully updated rooted stock ROM. I'm using AK kernel which is my favorite one for this device, and I use the Synapse kernel app that the dev tells you to use, I think that your will be impressed with allnthe things that app can do, thought I'm not sure it works with other kernels besides AK. You can't overclock on Franco's kernel but you can with AK. 2.880GHz is as high as it goes, and its safe and stable in my opinion. I've bought four OPO's already and its worked without issue on all of them.

Is this the AK Kernel?

Also, should I remove franco.kernel first? Will I need VomerTweaks too?
I will wait before I do anything.

Here's the link bro, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/kernel-ak-t2832168 not sure what the one you gave me was for. Anyway, I recommend you start fresh by doing a wipe and flashing the stock rom. After that, you just flash the AK kernel zip, make sure it's the one for CM11S, flash the UKM zip, your super su zip, and reboot and install the Synapse app from the play store app. I'm glad to help.

I have questions before I wipe and flash the rom.
Whenever OnePlus releases an update will the AK kernel still be compatible?

[Zip][Script][SS][NI2][Extreme Debloater][The PURGE v1]

The PURGE
Since I am patiently waiting for Lollipop to come out for our device, I decided to make a flashable debloat script which will be called "The PURGE."
I have had many requests to continue development for my ROM and found it easier to make this vs. maintaining a ROM. With that being said, I will be making other versions of the script but wanted to start off with a bang with an EXTREME debloat script!​
Disclaimer:​
I am not responsible if your phone blows up! This script will remove anything listed below if it is on the device. If it is not on the device it will not do anything! Therefore, if you use something that's listed to be removed, then do NOT complain. I am sure there are many on here that can help you get the one or few things you do use back on the device without a problem as well as a lot of the applications can be installed from the Play Store or simply taken from a stock (non debloated) ROM.

-/system/etc/secure_storage/com.sec.knox.store (Knox related, usually also removed by ROM devs by default)
-/system/tima_measurement_info (Not sure but not needed)
Keep in mind since this initial version is the most extreme, using it can and will render things such as UPSM and SHealth to not work similar to my Extreme Syndicate ROM.
If you find anything on your device that isn't already removed please let me know so I can add it to the script! I will also be updating it as I go and as I find more things to remove.
I do not have a estimate, but I would imagine what is removed with this script will remove 600-700+ MB from the ROM itself! I have tested on Ricks Rom v19.5 and system RAM is down to ~800mb which has basically freed up about 1gb of system RAM which in turn allows for a smoother faster and leaner device!
This did take some time.. Of course I already had a strong idea of what to remove based on the work that I've already done with Extreme Syndicate but the script had to be typed up manually with each application/file as well as I had to do a clean install more than once to find some straggling applications before I got it to how I wanted it!
All I ask is that you at least hit the thanks button and if you can spare some change don't be afraid to donate!
Eventually I will be making specific debloat scripts to remove certain applications such as only removing Verizon bloatware, or only removing Samsung bloatware etc. I am also messing around with Android Studio to hopefully one day be able to make an application that is device specific that will automate the process by selecting it in an actual application. This would sort of be like an Aroma installer except an application that you can run on the phone while its booted up and no need for recovery.
As always, thanks for trying out The PURGE and let me know what you think of it!
Install Instructions:​
1) Download the Zip file
2)This should work on any stock ROM! (If the files aren't there to be removed it shouldn't do anything at all. I recommend to do a clean install, let phone boot up and then go into recovery and flash it. This is because it does remove the setup wizards so it's recommended you set the phone up first and then reboot to recovery and flash the script.)
3) Boot into recover and flash the Zip
4) Done!

yea, figured id make a list lol. i did leave in clocks, calculators, calendars etc... theres also more hidden stuff i can remove but that is the bulk of it..
the sounds, launchers n some of the apks are large as well and there are 3rd party apps that are smaller in size but that is where a rom is more suitable lol
Im alsothinking about making it so it will add build.prop tweaks n other stuff but thats later down the road lol
Glad your still highly active in the forums and churning out some goodies....
Looks nice trying this on optimal as I type this

let us know how it goes! I think most stuff removed shouldnt affect much on other ni2 roms.. might however on eclipse which is highly modified.. or alliance.. long as they dont use any of the removed apps listed here for anything major then it should b good
I also was making a rom (Extreme Syndicate v2.5) but on first boot the toggles wouldnt come up and settings button from drop down didnt work (works from settings in app drawer).. so i gotta figure that out when i have time.. unless of course misterxtc or someone knows how to fix it then i can upload it and have thread reopened.. it has much the same as v2.1 (not themed) but call lag issue is gone lol it mistve been something i removed from system folder.. its around 500mb in size since i left some stuff in this go around

So far no issues, fc's anythi MG of that nature. Optimal is running somewhat smoother than it already does and definitely nice to be under the 200 system app mark now as I was unsure of some things to remove. No complaints here so far
yea it flash in a split second too lol
It took maybe a quarter of a second to flash hahaha. I was impressed lol
Thank you so much Elliwigy! I was one of the people asking for this! Haha. My only question is - On Extreme Syndicate I had some issues connecting to my PC as an MTP device/being able to plug in and view it as a drive to easily drag & drop files to and fro. Should I expect anything like that from this script or no?
You're the best! Now for the black&white... lol

Nope.. it doesnt remove the mtp like the rom did so plugging it in a pc should work out the box
Thanks for making this elliwigy. Is there a way to edit what is deleted? I tried changing the updater-script but when I went to flash it said something about the binary not working.
I wanted to leave the google stuff (I know I could re-download it but I figured why not leave it) and I really wanted to keep the emergency alert stuff (cmas). I figure the emergency alert is good to have, in case of an emergency

All you really would need to do is from a pc open the zip using 7zip and then go to the updater script, right click and press edit.. remove the line you want to keep then go to file and save.. it will ask you again to save in zip and say yes.. it should work.. ive had issues trying to edit updater scripts on the phone if thats what u tried

Thanks for the 7zip tip. I previously extracted the zip, edited the script, and then remade the zip. Something didn't work right, but the method you mentioned did. Thanks!
was hoping there would be a list of removed apps for the "perfect debloat" eventually. thanks for the post up. This helps with rom creation as well
Although, does this cause the issue I was having with Extreme Syndicate about not having the multi tasking work at all? softbuttons and hardware bring up no multi tasking for me

yea.. edit the zip and exclude the multiwindowtrayservice from the updater script or simply add it back to rom if u use it..
not really an issue since i do not use multiwindow at all as do a lot of people i consider it bloat lol

[Q] Battery Doctor (Battery Saver) on the G3

*I'm sorry in advance if it breaks any rules by posting the apps full name, this is not an attempt to advertise them at all. If this is the case inform me and ill change the thread name.*
So i used this app on my G2, and when rooted, i was able to turn off auto-start for almost any app or process that appeared after hitting optimize. All the apps it wanted to close would appear, i could click on them, click more info, and turn off auto-start, and like magic they wouldn't auto start again! (or they wouldn't appear in this app or clean master unless started manually somehow)
However now with the G3 this functionality is lost and id really like it back, as every time i optimize over 20 issues are reported and most of them are system processes. Has anyone run into this issue and found a work around for themselves, or is there an alternative method i can take advantage of that I'm not aware of. Any help is greatly appreciated, Please let me know if you need any details or additional info from me.
Thanks everyone!
Use greenify it will save your battery much better. I like cleanmaster but battery doc not so much try greenify u want regret it ?

Well ill just say, on he G2 Battery Doctor was dope! Having the ability to truly stop apps and process from auto starting saved so much battery, It would often die after 2-3 days of normal usage.
I have tried Greenify but my problem with it is that it only works on apps that I've downloaded, it doesn't target system apps/process's which is really my goal.
Are you aware of anything for the G3 that allows for this?
Install xposed now greenify let's u do system apps u must buy the paid version

Well that's slightly helpful, so your saying is that if I get xposed and buy a paid version of greenify, then I can accomplish what I'm looking for?
Because I'm on lollipop and I've tried, I can't lose Smartcover or weather :/
I tried to revert back to kit Kat quickly and it didn't work, but if I did get it to work would it work just as good as it did on my g2?
